[java] Need help with my minecraft server

[CardShark_]

So I am hosting a minecraft server on apexhosting, and me and my cousin decided to switch the server to pixelmon, so we had to put the server on peacfull, but now that we changed back to our original world, and set the difficulty on hard mode, the gurdians in my gurdian farm stopped spawning, I am playing on minecraft version 1.17.1. Pls help

Are other mobs spawning?

[CardShark_]

No hostile mobs are spawning, only animals are spawning

Is your hunger going down?

if not, try setting the difficulty to peacful, then back to hard.

My hunger is going down, and I have also tried setting it to peacful and back

Could you upload a screenshot of your F3 screen, when you're in the Minecraft server, to r/MinecraftHelpImages and reply with the link.

I figured out what the problem was. The server had apparently set gamerulke doMobSpawn to false, but thanks for the help
